My Life

Dick Carmel is a lifelong Chicagoan who has counseled all his life - as a practicing lawyer, business consultant and personal adviser. With those interests, and that background, how could he not be eager to write? His fiction includes a novel, Though We Have No Merits, a recent collection, Short Stories of Love and Loss, and a new short story, The Child Who Returned to Her Mother.

Dick Carmel's stories have appeared in the Origins Journal, Typehouse Literary Magazine, Akashic Books' Mondays Are Murder series, Chicago Literati, Front Porch Review, bird's thumb, Mash and elsewhere.
